Who makes Kamal Steel

Kamal Steel is the brand of Kamal Steels Limited, the flagship company of Kamal Group in Tanzania. The Kamal Group website gives its head office as Plot 188/2, Chang’ombe Road, Dar es Salaam, and lists sales outlets in Mbeya and Mwanza. The group also runs mining and oil re-refining businesses under other names.

The Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council, where the company is a strategic partner, describes the company’s growth: it was established in 2004 with a re-rolling mill and now operates an integrated steel plant producing billets, high-tensile rebar and a range of structural steel products. The same page names its supply network across Tanzania, Zambia, Burundi, Malawi, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.

Product range

The products named on the group’s steel page are:

Product range
Product What the maker says
Rebar grade 500 rebars; the page also mentions TMT bars
Mild steel angles listed, sizes not given
Mild steel flat bars listed, sizes not given
Mild steel square bars listed, sizes not given
Mild steel sections listed, sizes not given
Billets made by CISCO in Cape Town, South Africa, which Kamal Group fully acquired in November 2021, with a stated capacity of 200,000 tonnes a year

The group states that its products are made to BS grades. The steel page does not publish a size list or data sheets; ask the seller for the mill certificate of the batch you buy.

For what grade 500 means and how to check bars on delivery, see rebar (nondo). Flat bar in general is covered on flat bar.

Listed prices

On 12 November 2026 we found no seller’s own web page with a price for Kamal Steel products by name. The rebar prices we could check — by bar and by tonne, from two Dar es Salaam sellers, none of them under the Kamal name — are on the rebar price page.

Does Kitovu stock Kamal Steel?

No. Kitovu sells from stock in Zanzibar and does not stock Kamal Steel or any rebar. For reinforcement work it holds Plastic Rebar Chairs with Base (Rebar Spacers), which keep bars and mesh at a set height above the formwork so the concrete cover is kept during the pour.
